Sheffield Wednesday’s Will Vaulks was also among the winners, scooping the EFL Player in the Community award for his efforts away from the Hillsborough pitch.

Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United have endured dismal Championship campaigns but both clubs were recognised for work away from the grass. The Terriers won the EFL Diversity Award for their engagement with female fans, while Rotherham United’s Go Green initiative won them the EFL Green Club Award.

In League Two, Bradford City have struggled but one of their key players secured a place in the fourth tier Team of the Season. Brad Halliday has been a consistent performer for the Bantams this term and his efforts were recognised with a place in the XI.
